Description
EDM3 Gentian Violet is a violet dye used in Gram staining and general microbiology work. Microbiology benches run Gram and differential sequences on a daily cycle, and Gentian Violet is supplied ready for that bench work.
- Ready to Use - the Gentian Violet line is supplied at the stated strength in 2 oz, 4 oz and 16 oz
- Documented Shipping Class - hazmat and limited-quantity classifications are published for the microbiology stain configurations in 2 oz, 4 oz and 16 oz
- 4 Configurations - configurations run from 1%, 2 oz to 2%, 16 oz, each with its own EDM3 item number
The Gentian Violet listing covers 4 configurations, spanning 2 oz, 4 oz and 16 oz. Gentian Violet comes at working strength, so technologists can run the standard staining sequence without dilution steps. Each configuration of the microbiology stain, from 1%, 2 oz to 2%, 16 oz, is sold as its own EDM3 item number, so the concentration and container on the shelf match the line on the order. Safety data sheets published by the manufacturer cover the configurations of this microbiology stain (2 oz, 4 oz and 16 oz), and the documents section below links them for the lab's chemical inventory file. 4 of the 4 configurations of this microbiology stain in this listing carry a hazmat transport classification, which limits them to ground shipping within the contiguous United States.

Why Choose the Gentian Violet?
Practices and laboratories choose Gentian Violet because the line is published, itemized and documented by its manufacturer. For a busy bench, that keeps stocking the 4 microbiology stain configurations in 2 oz, 4 oz and 16 oz, reordering them and keeping the safety file straightforward.
- Fewer reformulation steps - ready to use supply means staff spend bench time on specimens instead of preparing Gentian Violet from bulk chemicals - more consistent day-to-day results
- One reorder number per strength - each concentration and size, from 1%, 2 oz to 2%, 16 oz, carries its own item number, so reorders land on the exact configuration - less bench stock guesswork
- Verifiable line - the full item table and safety data sheets are published by EDM3, so every configuration in 2 oz, 4 oz and 16 oz can be verified before it is ordered - verification before purchase instead of after delivery
